Recontouring

Dental recontouring, also known as tooth shaping, is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that provides an aesthetic appearance by making small adjustments to the size, shape or surface of the teeth. This method is used to correct small defects on the tooth surface, improve the overall appearance of the teeth and achieve a more symmetrical smile, providing fast and effective results without making major changes to the teeth.

What is Dental Recontouring?

Recontouring is the process of reshaping teeth by removing a very thin amount of enamel from the edges and surfaces of the teeth. This procedure is usually performed to correct minor irregularities, uneven edges, or asymmetrical appearances on teeth. The procedure is minimally invasive and is ideal for correcting aesthetic defects without causing major damage to the tooth structure.

In Which Situations Is Recontouring Applied?

  • Irregular Tooth Edges: Rough or uneven edges of teeth can be shaped to create a more symmetrical appearance.
  • Excessively Long or Pointed Teeth: The size of the teeth can be slightly shortened or pointed parts can be rounded to achieve a more balanced smile.
  • Crooked Teeth: In cases of mild misalignment, the surfaces of the teeth can be smoothed to provide a more even look.
  • Small Chips or Cracks: If there are minor chips or cracks on the tooth surface, these imperfections can be corrected through recontouring.
  • Improving Smile Aesthetics: Overall, the process aims to adjust the shape and size of the teeth to create a more attractive and aesthetic smile.

Advantages of Dental Recontouring

  • Quick and Painless: The recontouring procedure is usually completed in a single session and can be done painlessly without the need for anesthesia.
  • Natural Appearance: Small adjustments are made to achieve an aesthetic look without altering the natural structure of the teeth.
  • Minimal Intervention: Only a very thin layer of enamel is removed, largely preserving the tooth structure.
  • Immediate Results: You get a more symmetrical and aesthetic smile right after the procedure.
  • Cost-Effective Solution: It is more affordable compared to other cosmetic dentistry treatments.

How is Dental Recontouring Performed?

During the dental recontouring process, the dentist removes small amounts of enamel tissue from the surface of the tooth using special tools. During this stage, the shape of the tooth is rearranged and any uneven or asymmetrical parts are corrected. At the end of the process, the teeth are polished to give them a shiny and smooth appearance. The dental recontouring process is usually completed in a short time and the patient can return to their daily life immediately after the procedure.

Post Recontouring Care

Although no special care is required after the recontouring procedure, regular brushing, flossing and oral hygiene are recommended. Since only a small amount of tooth enamel is removed, the sensitivity of the teeth is minimally affected. If you have minor aesthetic defects in your teeth and want to correct these defects without making major changes, dental recontouring may be the ideal solution for you.
